Amanda "Dada" Rodgers, 30, of Mechanicsburg, died unexpectedly in Mifflinville on Monday, May 18, 2015. She was born in Bryn Mawr, the daughter of Edward T. and Jacque (George) Rodgers of East Earl.

A 2002 graduate of Pequea Valley High School, Amanda earned her Bachelors in Psychology from Millersville University in 2007. She was a social worker case manager for visually and hearing impaired adults with Schazenbach Consulting in Dillsburg. Amanda had a gift for working with autistic children and children always gravitated towards her.

Affectionately known as "Dada", she loved to laugh with her beautiful smile that radiated joy. Amanda loved others and always put them first, regardless of the situation. She was smart, witty, no-nonsense with strong convictions and not afraid to share them. Amanda loved music, dancing and the outdoors.

Rodgers of New York City; nieces Alyssa Bruno, Molly Rueckel and Jenna Rueckel, step-nephew Christopher Rueckel and step-niece Hannah Rueckel, all of Lititz; her soulmate Nicholas Jordan of Mechanicsburg, best friend Becky Strayer of York and countless other friends.
